Our approach going forward

2014 – 2017 – All NHS health and social care providers were inspected

2018  In PMS we have been developing new approaches to the

regulation of primary care

• We will continue to inspect and rate

• The approach will change – all practices will be inspected at minimum

of once every five years

• We will be more focused on the risk areas we identify as well as

focusing on practices where we have identified shortfalls and breaches

of regulations

• Practices will review their service annually and provide this information

to CQC

• However, we know the context is changing – new models of care may

lead to different ways of inspecting and regulating
